acutally i think ( im not 100% sure not even sure masque might be able to give a defintive answer to this probally need someone to upgrade to 200mb on vmng300) but i am pretty sure it auto negeotiated the downstream channel rate and i think each channel has a maximum of 60mb through it (to long since i looked at the specs so please dnt grill me anyone) so in thoery can do 200mb but above 200mb i think you will need mroe downstream channels

but since superhub in modem mode is basically jsuta bridge it adds latency there no covering or hiding this, it in the simplies form think of cable length, the logn the cable length of say cat5e the speed degrades as with jitter and ping the shorter the better, it basically adding length to the cable run. if it had a amplifier so boosting so to say the shorten the cable length so in thoery makign the cable length be logner similar to how you do some networking, then it would probally act the same as vmng300 in modem mode but sadly it doesnt it jsut plain router switched to bridge mode :S
